CITY.
Rev. VIM. Dodd, LII. D.. was born in 1929. at
Bourne. in Lincolnshire, England. He received
a college education, and became a noted preach
| er and successful literary man. Through his
celebrity q divine and man OF letters and by
means of flattering the great, he succeeded we'll
| in London, and in 1863 was appointed tutor to
Philip Stanhope, fifth Earl of Chesterfield His
habits, however. were very expensive, and an
| income of 81, 900 per annum even when aug
mented by the produce of his literary labors, was
not sufficient to supply his wants. This extrav-
agapce proved his ruin, as it tempted him to
forge the signature of his former pupil, the Earl
| of Chesterfield, to bond for $2l 000 For this
| crime he arrested in February, 1777, and.
| though he refunded the money, he tried,
| convicted and executed on the 9th of July fol-
lowing. The case of DR.. Dodd stands as a nota-
| BILE example of the infexible and impartial
| justice III which British law is administered.

Below is partial answer to your corresnondent who

| THE RETURNS FROM GUBsER's MILL.
| A little old man from Gubsers Mill
Rode in hot haste over plain and hill,
| Rode till he rode into Newport town.
And then the little old man hoped down.
| 80 bring the county clerk stra;ghtway
| And bring the Judge of the court l pray.
| And bring some dew OF the mountain STILL
| For We got the returns from Gubser's MILL"
"old man. you've Travelled with tardy feet,
| The Governor long since took his seat
| The count finished away last fall
| And Gubser's Mill cannot change it ALL"
| The little old man with rage grew white;
| "Gol ding it, I'd like to know what right
| They've got to swear in a man. until
| They hear the returns from Gubser's MILL"
